The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — One — and what happens in the verse to Dumah, Seir, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. מַשָּׂ֖א דּוּמָ֑ה אֵלַי֙ קֹרֵ֣א מִשֵּׂעִ֔יר שֹׁמֵר֙ מַה־מִלַּ֔יְלָה שֹׁמֵ֖ר מַה־מִלֵּֽיל׃ [The burden of Dumah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.430/) [One calleth unto me out of Seir: 'Watchman, what of the night?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.431/) [Watchman, what of the night?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.432/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one.
